I see that there are a different thread where Jesper answered as well. Sorry I missed that one.
And there you mention that you are using Ubuntu, then you can check using netstat if you have any un-acked data (Send-Q)?
Unless you have done that already.
Or if you analyze the connection on both sides using wireshark or such tool, as Jesper mentioned, to see if there are any missing packets / acks or other things happening.
Do you have some sort of NAT or state full firewall between the hosts?
Do you enable keepalive on the TCP connection?
